<body style="overflow: hidden;">

<p>Here's the original case.  All of the cells have images that fill to
their given widths except the ones marked "Empty".</p>


<table width="566" bgcolor="#00FFFF" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td bgcolor="#FF0000" width="222"><img height="40" width="222" border="0" alt="Hometown AOL"></td>
    <td bgcolor="#666600" width="145"><img border=0 width=145 height=40 alt="Quick Start Link"></td>
    <td bgcolor="#009999" width="199">Empty</td></tr>
  <tr>
    <td bgcolor="#0000ff" width="367" colspan="2"><img height="20" width="367" alt=" Welcome"></td>
    <td bgcolor="#990099" width="199">Empty</td></tr>
</tr></table>

<p>If we fill either empty out with text, the problem goes away.</p>

<table width="566" bgcolor="#00FFFF" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td bgcolor="#FF0000" width="222"><img height="40" width="222" border="0" alt="Hometown AOL"></td>
    <td bgcolor="#666600" width="145"><img border=0 width=145 height=40 alt="Quick Start Link"></td>
    <td bgcolor="#009999" width="199">Empty - lots of text here now - and more and more and more text in it</td></tr>
  <tr>
    <td bgcolor="#0000ff" width="367" colspan="2"><img height="20" width="367" alt=" Welcome"></td>
    <td bgcolor="#990099" width="199">Empty</td></tr>
</tr></table>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<table width="566" bgcolor="#00FFFF" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td bgcolor="#FF0000" width="222"><img height="40" width="222" border="0" alt="Hometown AOL"></td>
    <td bgcolor="#666600" width="145"><img border=0 width=145 height=40 alt="Quick Start Link"></td>
    <td bgcolor="#009999" width="199">Empty</td></tr>
  <tr>
    <td bgcolor="#0000ff" width="367" colspan="2"><img height="20" width="367" alt=" Welcome"></td>
    <td bgcolor="#990099" width="199">Empty - this has lots and lots and lots of text in it</td></tr>
</tr></table>


<p>Taking away either the cellpadding=0 or cellspacing=0 fixes the problem.</p>


<table width="566" bgcolor="#00FFFF">
  <tr>
    <td bgcolor="#FF0000" width="222"><img height="40" width="222" border="0" alt="Hometown AOL"></td>
    <td bgcolor="#666600" width="145"><img border=0 width=145 height=40 alt="Quick Start Link"></td>
    <td bgcolor="#009999" width="199">Empty</td></tr>
  <tr>
    <td bgcolor="#0000ff" width="367" colspan="2"><img height="20" width="367" alt=" Welcome"></td>
    <td bgcolor="#990099" width="199">Empty</td></tr>
</tr></table>

<p>As does removing the explicit width on the table...</p>

<table bgcolor="#00FFFF" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td bgcolor="#FF0000" width="222"><img height="40" width="222" border="0" alt="Hometown AOL"></td>
    <td bgcolor="#666600" width="145"><img border=0 width=145 height=40 alt="Quick Start Link"></td>
    <td bgcolor="#009999" width="199">Empty</td></tr>
  <tr>
    <td bgcolor="#0000ff" width="367" colspan="2"><img height="20" width="367" alt=" Welcome"></td>
    <td bgcolor="#990099" width="199">Empty</td></tr>
</tr></table>
